New Railroad Scheme.

A railroad survey is now being made
by Mr.. James Mitchell from Houlton to
Patton is in the interest of capitalists
who have in view the building Of a
railroad from lIoulton to Patten, and
thence through the town of Sherman to
Midway, thence alone the west side of
the east branch of the Penobscot river
to Joint connec ion with the Canadian
Pacific railroad some six to ten miles
west of Mattawamkeag. If good route
is found from Sherman to Patten, and
thence to IIoulton, it is expected that
active steps will be taken at an early day
toward building road by the new route
into Aroostook county. From Houlton
the scheme embraces building ID miles
from Houlton to Woodstock, where il
will connect with the New Brunswick
railroad, and over it to the town of Glib
son. lopposite Fredericton. At Gibson
it connects with Gibsons road, which
runs from Gibson to Mirmichi, distance
of 10 miles. This will make an almost
direct line by this route to Miramichl and
to Montreal Dohtuless this whole line
will be leased by the Canadian Pacific.

Rosa Memsted Attempts suicide
By AN Overdose of ChiOroferm.
Yesterday noon word was received by
telephone that young woman had at
tempted suicide at the California Central
depot. A reporter of the Courier was
at once detailed to work up the case,
aud after thorough search the follow
ing facts came to light:
About tive weeks ago Miss Rosa Mem.
sted left this city for Los Angeles to meet
James Thompson, man who had prom
ised to be her husband. Upon her ar
rival she found that the man who had
robbed her of her virtue had failed to
materialize. Hoping upon him she
awaited him, but he failed to come to
time and fulfill his promise. After
waiting several days and realizing that
she was deserted, desperation seized
her and she purchased bottle of car
bolic acid, but had not the bravery to
use il and substituted chloroform but
taking an overdose. it acted as an
emetic. This she took at Los Ange.
les late yesterday afternoon. After
taking this deadly poison she tele-
graphed to her parents that she
wanted them to meet her at the depot
with a coffin as she would be corpse.
The anxious parents waited until all
the trains were in upon the night she
telegraphed but she nor her body failed
to materialize. Yesterday morning her
sister and several friends were present
upon the arrival of the East bound
train but failed to observe the erring
sister when she arrived. After getting
off the train Miss Rosa started
in the direction of her home
but observing her sisters who re-
cognized her at the same time, she
raised bottle to her lips and swallowed
its contents and in few moments
was rigid as stone. Her inanimate
form was conveyed to the st. Charles
Hotel and Drs. Dickey and Dickey were
summoned, who, after a couple of hours
work, succeeded in bringing the young
woman back to life, and she was re-
moved to her home. The Courier can

worked with false tongue and accom-
plished this young girls ruin, and II be

Sueciai Announcement.

The first advance in the price of Ivanhoe
lots was made June LIST as per adyertlse,
ment for several months. For various good
reasons, some of the lots are left at the
original prices for another month. But
most of them have been advanced 20 to so
per cent. Even at advanced prices 1t is the
best property offered for the money any
should choose their lots before the next ad-
vance, which will be made in July. The
sale OF lots in May was larger than In any
previous month, and the end Of June will
find most of the lots sold. All who see Ivan
hoe agree that it is the best property for the
least money that eau be found. The water
system and the dummy road will both be
ready by July, and many houses will be
built in the next two months. If you want a

D. f. Kuffel addressed an interested
audience last night at the Third Presby-
terrain Church on the subject of temper
ance. In the course an able lecture he
dwelt strongly ON the point, that in
order to ensure a successful issue, com
plete organization was necessary. he
requested all those interested in the work
of suppre ssing the vices caused by liquor
to combine their efforts under the same
generalship, to press boldly forward in
the good work in which they had been
embarked, and not be discouraged by
temporary failure, but ever be buoyed
up with the knowledge of the nobleness
of their aim.

A Mu,tttude of Ailments.

The ailments which afiiict the kidneys
and bladder are so numerous that merely
to name them would fill space far outrun-
ming the limits of this article. Suffice It to
say that they are both obstinate and dan
gerous. To their prevention Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The slim
Mus which it lends to the action OF the
kidneys when they are lethargic, serve to
counteract a tendency In them to lapse,
first, into a state of pernicious inactivity,
and afterwards into one of positive organic
disease. which soon destroys their delicate
Judgements, poisons the blood and causes
death. A double purpose is served by this
depurent. 1t promotes activity of the kid.
neys and expels impurities from the blood
which have no natural channel of outlet,
except those organs. Constipation, bilious
ness, fever and ague, rheumatism and dys-
pepsia, are also remedied by this medicine
of thorough action and wide scope.

The Journal Of Commerce has re.

to send an estimate Of the wheat crop of
this county. Mr.. Lankershim will state
as his best judgment that the crop this
year will not exceed 100000 bushels,
whereas last year it was l,750,000. As
to the barley crop it is probable that
there will be half crop or 300, 900
sacks. This is fair estimate of crop
prospects. The yield last year was I'M
precedented and while the crop during
this season will run up to the average,
it will be far behind that of last year.
